Nexalin Technology Regains Compliance with Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement; Nasdaq Hearings Panel Grants Request for Continued Listing

HOUSTON, Oct. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nexalin Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: NXL) (the “Company” or “Nexalin”), the leader in non-invasive Deep Intracranial Frequency Stimulation (DIFS™) of the brain, today announced that it has received written confirmation from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Nasdaq confirmed that the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock was above the $1.00 per share minimum for 21 consecutive trading days, from August 31 through September 29, 2026, following the Company’s previously announced reverse stock split.

The confirmation, dated September 30, 2026, follows a decision by the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), dated September 25, 2026, granting the Company’s request for continued listing on Nasdaq. Under the terms of the Panel’s decision, the Company was required to demonstrate compliance with the bid price requirement, which it has now satisfied, and must demonstrate compliance with the minimum $2.5 million stockholders’ equity requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) on or before January 4, 2027.

“We appreciate the Panel’s decision and are pleased to have satisfied the bid price requirement,” said Mark White, Chief Executive Officer of Nexalin. “Our primary focus remains on the growing momentum across our business. We recently announced a distribution agreement covering Brazil and six additional South American markets, an important step in our transition toward commercial revenue generation, and we continue to advance our U.S. clinical programs, including our pivotal HALO™ Clarity clinical trial in insomnia, as we pursue FDA marketing authorization of our DIFS™ technology in the United States.”

The Company’s continued listing on Nasdaq remains subject to the terms of the Panel’s decision, including the requirement to demonstrate compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement on or before January 4, 2027 and to promptly notify the Panel of any significant events during the exception period that may affect the Company’s compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements. The Panel has reserved the right to reconsider the terms of the exception. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to demonstrate compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement within the required timeframe, or that it will be able to maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s other continued listing requirements.
